BEFORE DIVING INTO THIS SITE, GRAB A CUP OF COFFEE, GLASS OF WINE, OR FAVORITE DRINK, RELAX, AND CLEAR YOUR MIND. YOU'RE ABOUT TO TAKE A JOURNEY OFF THE BEATEN PATH.
Next, it would be best to state the purpose of this site and establish some realistic expectations.
On page #1, "The Nous", I've produced a short video that addresses forensic evidence that clearly points out the reality that the universe and everything in it came about by an intelligent designer based on real science in the areas of astrophysics, molecular biology, cosmology, and mathematics. It might be best to start by watching that video to lay the foundation.
Assuming you've watched that video, I will now point out that the contents of this site builds on the premise that the evidence points to a supreme power, God, is the only logical answer how all things came about. Now all that's needed is to establish why. Why are we here? What is God's purpose for humankind and what does the future hold for all mankind?
Now that that has been stated, it's necessary to establish where the answers to these complex and universal questions can possibly come from.
This leads to pages 2 &3, "Truth", and the ultimate source of truth from the intelligence before time and space began, as only God Almighty revealed in scripture, the Bible. Assuming you reviewed the page on "the Bible", you have discovered there is only one original translation of the 73 books, the Latin Vulgate Jerome completed in 405 A.D., from the Greek Septuagint. Jerome's Vulgate was translated to English, and other languages in 1582 and after.
Important Note: Right click on each blue highlighted Bible verse sited and choose the option;
"Open link in new tab", to bring you back to this page. (Douay Rheims Bible of 1582)
Since the rest of this site builds the presentation based on these realities, one must decide to accept this reality, or, as Joanne brings out in the video, "the Nous", concerning the Greek word "Amathia", you can ignore the facts, the evidence, the truth and deny it. Each must decide.
If, in fact, all things were brought into existence by an intelligence, why?
Let's think about it. If this intelligent consciousness had no need for anything outside Himself, why create other intelligent beings such as angels (spirit creatures) and material humans?
(Colossians 1:16, John 1:3, John 6:44)
Yes, others have written, "love", but what does that mean? (John 3:16)
Can it be so simple to know and seek these answers? (John 17:3 & Matthew 7:7)
Jesus told those who would listen, these truths would come in two ways. (2 Thessalonians 2:14)
Mankind knows what a king is, (who holds supreme authority and head of a kingdom).
As "King of Kings", this would indicate supreme sovereign and ruler of all other kings and kingdoms.
Even we as parents, humans experience a measure of authority and governance in a family. How?
Children must obey parents for their own good and to receive blessings from parents providing food, shelter, education, protection and undeserved loving kindness to them. Parents also guide and guard children from harm from outside evil influences and negative conduct.
This is why Jesus pointed out things NOT TO DO to prosper. (1 Corinthians 6:9-10)
And yet, even though "most" of mankind have engaged in such things in the past, Jesus provided a way to overcome these harmful stains in our lives. (1 John 1:9) But forgiveness comes at a cost.
God disciplines those He loves to guide them back to a righteous course. (Hebrews 12:6)
But discipline and chastisement is not always punishment. Discipline is training that develops self-control, obedience, or orderly behavior. This is what loving parents do to help their children grow.
But at the end of the day, our life is in our own hands. (Psalm 118:109). ~ Douay Rheims
_________________________________
WELCOME! This site is not meant to point out wrongs, sins, or all the bad things in this world.
Also, this site is not intended to convince, coerce, or persuade anyone of anything.
We must dignify the intelligence of each person and their ability to decide for themselves.
I'm not a bishop or even a bishop, nor do I possess a theology degree or am I a Bible scholar.
So, why pay any attention to this "unlettered" guy? All I ask is to consider Thomas Aquinas words.
"Consider not the messenger, rather the message they convey." ~ circa 1250 A.D.
The reality is, we are all free moral agents, and we all have the right and the duty to share and defend our beliefs. (1 Peter 3:15) Silence is not golden.
When a house is burning down with people inside, a good person would at least say something.
History is filled with men and women who put their lives on the line to speak out and help others.
Doing this doesn't require special degrees, titles, or assignments. It just takes real love for neighbor.
And for what it's worth, Jesus and His apostles were "unlettered" as well. (Acts 4:13)
The teachings of Jesus could fill libraries, (John 21:25), so, we can't possibly cover it all herein. The reader must do some research on their own, and take in knowledge too. (John 17:3 & Matthew 7:7)
ReMaybe it's time to do a little "Indiana Jones" stuff. Seek truth.


It's best to start with a clean slate by setting aside preconceived notions and take a fresh look at things from a new perspective, and try to be like an innocent child and remain curious.
We'll consider such questions as:
-
What does God expect from me?
-
Why does God permit wickedness to prevail?
-
Is this all there is?
-
What does the future hold for mankind, and for myself?
-
What model or path did Jesus leave behind to follow?
Jesus left the world with two commands to follow:
1.) Love God with our whole heart, whole soul, and whole mind, and,
2.) Love your neighbor as ourself. (Matthew 22:37-40)
Love of God motivates us to obey Him.
Love of neighbor motivates us to speak up and share the good things of God.
What are some of the "good things" God has bestowed on us?
Without even mentioning the fact He gave up His life for us, consider these:
1. Tour the mountains and canyons of western US, Canada, Europe, South America, Asia, etc.
2. Sail the Mediterranean Sea, the South Pacific Islands, the Caspian Sea, Lake Superior, etc.
3. Enjoy Italian, French, or Spanish garment restaurants and experience true culinary art.
4. Experience a complete classical concert of Beethoven, Bach, Mozart at a symphony hall.
5. Tour the Metropolitan Art Museum of New York, the Louvre in Paris, Uffizi Gallery in Italy.
6. Tour the British Library, Library of Congress, Turkish Library, and see millions of books.
FINALLY,
7. "Embrace" your loved one, your child, your mother and say you're content it's the last time.
After watching the video "the Nous" and considering this brief list of world experiences, how can anyone who is honest even think this all came about by blind, random chance with absolutely no intention or thought behind it?
With this in mind, it's time to take the first step together, "Page 1. , Veritas ~ the Truth".
